A common type of Grublin, as shown in the picture on your right, whose rank matches that of an Ape Soldier, is mostly encountered a lot of times in Dawn of the Dragon and are the easiest enemies to defeat.

Origin

Grublins were created by Malefor with an unknown dark spell that generates groups of ten to fifteen from the earth. The members in these groups consider each other as brothers. Each Grublin you see generally has this number of siblings. They serve as soldiers for Malefor's dark forces, and are his replacements for the Apes.

Like the Apes, there are a variety of these forces: the smaller common variety, and the bigger and large commanders. Because they were molded from out of the earth, they hold the ability to burrow underground to avoid further damage from Spyro and Cynder, except the Wyverns.
Some Grublins however, look like mutant flies, while others take a far more different and intimidating form.

Grublins only communicate through grunts and roars, which can be translated through the optional subtitles in the game.
